I'm afraid that I have -- once again -- dramatically overestimated my productivity and have fallen far behind on my goals.

But tomorrow, I'll totally be able to do all the things I didn't do today plus all of tomorrow's tasks, right?

On RubyGems & Governance: pup-e.com/blog/on-ruby...

Many programmers have no interest in formal governance processes, but letting people act and speak on our behalf without our input is what got us here.

The path forward is for the community to speak up and take direct ownership of what we make.

毎年春には桜がわずかな間だけ咲き、秋にはイチョウやカエデの葉が色づいて散っていきます。その美しさは儚いものですが、地球の気候変動によって、こうした自然の出来事の時期は予測しにくくなっています。気象庁のデータをもとに、「ephemeral」は過去70年にわたるその変化を記録した、花とデータの展示。

Using data from the Japan Meteorological Agency, ephemeral captures these changing dates over the last seven decades.

Every spring, cherry blossoms bloom briefly, and every fall, gingko and maple leaves change colors before they fall. These sights are as fleeting as they are beautiful, but as Earth’s climate changes, the dates of these natural events have shifted unpredictably.

if the state of journalism and its capture by the right wing also has you in despair, a real, tangible thing you can do to push back is support/subscribe to worker-owned indie news media!!
